Which nations action caused te united to fight in world war 1?
A few events caused the US to enter the war. The main event was the sinking of the British passenger ship, the Lusitania, in May 1917. On board the ship were a number of Americans. The German U20 submarine torpedoed the ship, and withing 18 minutes the ship sunk. Less than half the people on board survived. A little bit of trivia: some people beleived the British let the Germans sink the Lusitania in order to get the US to join the war. This may be true, as the British Navy's actions before and after the event support this.
